EBay authentication

[jamjamdesignerclothes]

I sold a pair of Yeezy that had already been authenticated by another company and had the authentication tag on it. it went to Ebay‘s authenticators, they told me that they did not pass and sent them back and they had cut the plastic tag off. This is not how I sent them and they won’t do anything about it. What are my options.

How confident can you be with the previous authentication? Who provided it?

[schatje88]

hi, I’m not very confident. But my point is they should’ve been sent back to me in exactly the same condition I sent them to them.

I can see both sides to this. From your point of view, you want that authentication, even though it's very possibly false, to help you try to sell the item to some unsuspecting buyer.

From eBay's point of view, you submitted the item with bogus authentication, possibly to influence their decision (as you weren't confident with the authentication). They haven't fallen for it, and have disposed of your bogus "evidence". I would check the terms and conditions of the authentication service. I'm sure your situation will be covered there.

If you were unsure of the authentication, you should not have attempted to sell the item as genuine.

[jamjamdesignerclothes]

Why is it quite possibly false. The reason I’m saying is that I don’t know the company that put an authentication tag on there.

It was you who said you weren't confident in the authentication. Have you checked the t's and c's to see if this is covered?

Once again though, put yourself in eBay's shoes. Should they return bogus authentication, which you tried to use to back up your claim, so you can dupe some unsuspecting buyer?

I don't think you have a leg to stand on, as you don't know for sure if your item is genuine, and it seems more than likely that it is not.

One question who the heck are Yeezy?

[jamjamdesignerclothes]

Ridiculous statement from you. I sent them to the Authentication team of eBay because they had already been authenticated. If I though they were in any way fake I wouldn’t have sold them and take the risk of bad feedback.

The person who said they were not confident were not the OP

I had to check twice because I read it like that too

I believe it is the same poster but they replied from their private account (which sold the item) instead of their business account (which they started the thread with).

Is it the pair you sold with the blue/turquoise tag on?

[vinylscot]

I think you should just let this go.

You've stated that you weren't confident in the authentication you provided. (If it was the pair which @4_bathrooms refers to above, you didn't even mention this "authentication" in the item description, when it would certainly have been a strong selling point.)

Coincidentally, you don't have a box for this pair.

You may well have been duped yourself when you acquired these (and you may not), but the signs suggest that you knew perfectly well that they were not authentic, when you tried to sell them. Both your business account and your private account are selling very similar selections of "designer" trainers in a variety of sizes, so it might be a better idea just to forget about this one and lie low.

Did you check the ART code?

Bc0947 comes back as completely different trainers
